valentine's day

Other than exchanging cards and little gifts, we didn't end up going out for Valentine's until today since I was still recovering from my illness on Tuesday. Thanks for so much all the sweet, sweet well-wishes, by the way! You're all amazing! (Right after I posted on Sunday claiming to not have gotten as sick as Lance, I came down with it pretty bad! Blah. Guess that will teach me to speak too soon!)

We hadn't made any huge Valentine's plans or reservations. Our only goal was to spend some quality time together, so it was no problemo postponing until today.

This morning we went out for bagels and coffee and Lance surprised me with a mini shopping spree (I know, best husband ever, right?!). He despises shopping, so it was pretty much a major sacrifice for him to come along and therefore the best gift ever!

We spent our time trying on ridiculous outfits and ginormous glasses and playing "would you name our kid ____?". And no, no bun in the oven, just fun future talk in which I learn fascinating things about Lance's taste in baby names. Achilles?! Really? No thanks.

Being a particularly gray day in Seattle (shocking!), it was perfect for a casual day of togetherness. This evening I think we're gonna do dinner and a movie in. Yup, pretty much a Valentine's Day totally suited for our style: chill. relaxed.

um, your man is so good if he allows you to go shopping AND goes with you! major brownie points. and the mister and i play the baby name too. so funny to hear to know that they can be just as particular with names as we are. who knew right? haxo TJ
